Ericâs POV Aunt Greta told a story about my grandfather and his father. She said we were quite similar in many ways. Just like my father, we were both stubborn children. Grandfather fell in love as a kid while traveling with his father. Unfortunately, the girl in question was an ordinary Thai girl. She was beautiful, he said. His father wasnât interested in creating such a connection. In times of war, a love that was supposed to bring people together instead created a rift between a father and a son. His father led to his first loveâs death, and on his dying bed, he asked for forgiveness, but my grandfather refused. Aunt Greta wanted my help to convince my grandfather to visit his fatherâs grave. So here I am, standing in front of his door, hoping he would open up, since I have been coming for a week now. âGrandfather, you donât need to act like this. I just want us to talk. This is your last warning.â No response from him. This was my only option. âIf you donât c
Philip's POV Everything feels like a dream. I'm trying hard to be friends with Eric, but itâs difficult, especially since he got married. Heâs a changed man. Heâs always smiling now. I heard he loves visiting Phoebeâs home country. The point is, heâs happy, and Iâm just here in my office, drinking alcohol. We found out who attacked Ericâguess who? Rachael Li. I expected that. Sheâs unstable and needs help, which is why I sent her to a psychiatric hospital, since Iâm technically her husband. But things are clear now. No hard feelings. She claims she has changed, and who am I to judge? Iâve changed too, but not entirely. I still lack the courage to confess and apologize to Diana for being a jerk. Six months should be enough to get my act together. "Ping!" "Who the hell is disturbing my..." I pause when I see whoâs calling. "Diana," I mutter. I clear my throat and answer, "Diana." "Can we meet?" "Yeah..." "Someone wants to see you. Can you make it right now? Iâm in front of th
A Few Hours Ago⊠Phoebeâs POV It was high time I faced my fears and made things right. I decided to visit my father. Mama accompanied me, and the moment we entered the police station, I asked her for some alone time with him. She nodded in agreement. I approached the officer at the front desk and politely asked to see my father. He directed me to the waiting area, where I took a seat and waited for him to be called. Soon enough, he appeared. He seemed to be doing well, smiling as he took his seat. âIs there something you need? You havenât visited for a while now,â he said. âBeen busy,â I replied. âYeah, I can see that. Youâre getting married.â âHuh!â I exclaimed, surprised. He chuckled softly. âDonât be surprised. Your marriage to Eric is everywhere.â âHmm. I just want you to listen. Will you do that for me?â He nodded. âIâm sorry.â âHuh?â âDonât be surprised. It was bound to happen anyway,â I giggled. He chuckled again. âIâm sorry for being a bad father, for
Phoebeâs POV As expected of the most famous family in Singapore. Mr. Hong makes our unprepared marriage London to the public. Everywhere is flooded with the news of the number one bachelorâs marriage, ERIC HONG. Itâs not easy being his soon to be bride. The hate is as equal as the love. People think king i donât deserve to be with him. He is too precious for me. Catrina snaps at me interrupting my thoughts. âGirl where is your head. You canât be distracted when you have a big wedding at hand. More importantly you are the brideâ she points out. âExactlyâ âHuh!âshe exclaims. âWhat are talking about?â Ella asks. I sigh. âI havenât you guys seen the hate comments on the news. No everywhere. Itâs hard to be the bride when you are the only one who seems to be happyâ I explain. They stare blankly at me with a frown. âI didnât think you care about what others think about you?â âMe too, guess people do changeâ âThat is not it. I feel like itâs being rushed. We are not
Phoebeâs POV Mama has all the reasons to be upset with me. I did tell her I was not having sex with Eric, and now it turns out I am pregnant. She keeps dragging me along. I donât know where we are heading. She probably doesnât know either. âMama, mama, mama!â âWhat?!â She finally pauses and lets go of my hand to face me. âWhat? Do you have anything to say now?â âNo I donât, but I need to know where we are going l, we have been walking and itâs getting dark. We are a few steps away from the hospital I think itâs best we..â âNo, we are not going back to that place. I know what you are trying to do here and it wonât work on me this time aroundâ âMama, listen pleaseâ âNo, I am not going to listen to your lies anymore. I have had enough of you trying to act smart with me. Yes may not be the best mother in the world but, I did want you to end up like me. I am trying here Phoebe. I wish..â her voice breaking. âMama,â I call, softly. âNo donât say a word. I am not done yet. You tol
Ericâs POV âCongratulations, you are pregnant,â hearing the doctor announce such news, my eyes widen. I canât believe it. She is really pregnant. I blink, trying to grasp what he just revealed. Forgetting that I am not the only one surprised. âWhat!!!â âDoctor, you must be mistaken. There is no way my daughter would be pregnant. She hasnât been with a man before, please do your checks well.â âHuh!â I exclaim, and Grandfather Hong and Aunt Greta exchange glances. They are in shock. The doctor is the most shocked. He glances at Phoebe and then to me. âMama, calm down. Itâs probably a mistake, right, doctor?â She winces at the doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor seems to be an honest man. He still insists on the fact that she is pregnant. Honestly, I have been hoping for such news. The last time we made love, I didnât use a condom. She passed out, so she hardly remembered what happened after. And that is good news. She would probably have my neck if she finds out I am the cause
